Professional Resources

Please note that this calendar is designed to be flexible: we may make changes along the way, depending on your interests and the needs of the class. Should you miss a class, you are responsible for knowing about—and adjusting for—any changes. Professional protocols and collegiality call for you to alert us if you’ll be missing on a day when we’re having a peer-editing workshop or when you are scheduled to present materials.

Week Two: Tuesday 1/20
Professional research & reading practices
In class: Discussing articles, theories, contexts, and materials for professional communication, and recent developments; in-class writing

Prepare for Week 3: Pavlis cohorts prepare planning memos for potential projects (3), and one theory memo, discussing — depending on your priorities — theories of communication and technology that might inform your work. These areas may include intercultural communication, technology research, diffusion, and adaption, and the institutional roles we play on such projects.The possible disabilities-related project group will compose individual memos exploring the feasibility of the team project.
